Deebo Samuel jumped on Instagram Live from his hospital bed after his foot surgery on Thursday. The San Francisco 49ers wide receiver suffered a Jones fracture in his left foot earlier in the week. While NFL insider Ian Rapoport estimated a recovery time of 12 to 16 weeks for Samuel, the receiver was more optimistic, saying he plans to be back in 10.
Samuel told fans he was running routes when the injury occurred. The 49ers have been holding player-organized practices this week at the Brentwood Academy, just outside Nashville. Samuel, who had been training in Houston, Texas, traveled to Tennessee to join his teammates.
NFL players are unable to utilize team facilities or gather in an official capacity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Surgery went perfect," Samuel told his fans. "I'm telling you all, in 10 weeks, it'll be a better Deebo than you have seen. I'm telling you, legendary."
One fan asked Samuel which 49ers player will have a breakout season in 2020.
"Me, I'm telling you," Samuel responded.
The receiver also stated that he was really looking forward to a steak dinner. Hopefully, he got that.

With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, it's common for the rumor mill to start churning, especially with players who are actively seeking a new contract. It was just two short years ago that WR Deebo Samuel requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers prior to draft day, only for cooler heads to prevail and eventually agree to a new deal.
Now, it's WR Brandon Aiyuk's turn to try and get paid and rumors surfaced over the weekend that he too would request to be dealt. While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.

ESPN recently conducted a mock draft involving its NFL Nation reporters, where each assumed the general manager role for the team they cover. This unique process benefits from selectors who are intimately aware of each team's needs.
The San Francisco 49ers are expected to address their offensive line with the No. 31 overall pick, marking the team's first first-round selection since 2021.
